BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present disclosure is described in more detail below on the basis of embodiments and with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a switching method according to the present disclosure.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a switching method for achieving a button to be active on a single side according to the present disclosure.
In the drawings, same components use the same drawing signs. The drawings do not follow the actual scale.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
The present disclosure is further described below with reference to the drawings.
In order to be suitable for the left and right hands at the same time, buttons are disposed on both left and right sides of a conventional ring-type scanner, and the buttons on both sides have the same function. During an actual application, the ring-type scanner is worn on the index finger. The thumb of the same hand operates the button close to the thumb, so as to wake up the scanner or implement other functions. In this way, if the scanner is worn on the left hand, the button on the right side is correspondingly operated; and if the scanner is worn on the right hand, the button on the left side is correspondingly operated. Therefore, only one side of the button actually functions at the same time. However, both the buttons on both sides of the conventional ring-type scanner are active, which are easily touched by mistake. For example, when the scanner is worn on the left hand, other fingers of the left hand such as the middle finger easily touches the button on the left side by mistake, causing the scanner to be wrongly woken up or perform other operations, so that the energy consumption of the scanner is increased, and the endurance performance of the scanner is reduced.
The following description of the left and right directions is based on the normal viewing angle of a user after the scanner is worn on the finger.
As shown in FIG. 1 , the present disclosure provides a method for switching scanner buttons. Buttons are disposed on both left and right sides of a scanner. The buttons may be physical buttons or touch buttons. The switching method includes the following steps.
At S1, a barcode is scanned and barcode data is obtained.
The scanner is provided with a scanning camera. The scanning camera is used to scan the barcode to obtain the barcode data, and then the barcode data is transmitted to a Bluetooth master control of the scanner. The barcode may be a bar code or a two-dimensional code.
At S2, whether the barcode data matches preset button switching barcode data is determined.
The Bluetooth master control analyzes the received barcode data, and determines whether the barcode data matches the preset button switching barcode data. If so, S3 is executed; and if no, other processing corresponding to the barcode data is performed. For example, commodity information is obtained by means of the barcode data.
At S3, in a case that the barcode data matches the button switching barcode data, an active button bit for waking up the scanner is switched from a button at the current side to a button at the other side.
A specific manner of switching the active button bit is that, flag bits corresponding to the buttons on the left and right sides are set. When the active button bit is switched to the button of one side, the flag bit corresponding to the button is configured to be active; and at the same time, the button on the other side is inactive, so as to guarantee that the button on the single side of the scanner to be active at the same time.
Further, after the active button bit is switched, whether the barcode data matching the button switching barcode data is continuously inputted is detected.
If the barcode data matching the button switching barcode data is continuously inputted, the active button bit is switched from the button at the current side to the button at the other side.
Specifically, after the active button bit is switched, the Bluetooth master control detects whether the scanning camera continuously inputs the barcode data matching the button switching barcode data, so as to determine whether the scanner continuously scans the barcode. If the barcode matching the button switching barcode data is continuously scanned after the active button bit is switched, the scanner performs the switching of the active button bit again. The purpose of the step is that, when a button switching barcode is wrongly scanned and after the active button bit is switched, by means of continuously scanning the barcode, the active button bit can be switched back again.
Further, whether the scanner is restarted is detected.
In a case that the scanner is restarted, the active button bit is initialized, and the active button bit is reset as the button corresponding to a default side.
In a case that the scanner is not restarted, the active button bit is maintained to continuously correspond to the button on the current side which is active.
Specifically, the operation of detecting whether the scanner is restarted is performed the whole using phase of the scanner, which may be performed during normal use or dormancy of the scanner, or may be during the switching of the active button bit of the scanner. Restarting means that the scanner is powered on again, which may be restarted normally or re-energized after power failure.
The scanner is initialized to be used by the right hand by default. That is to say, the initialized active button bit is the button corresponding to the upper left side of the scanner.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, after the active button bit is switched, the button currently corresponding to the active button bit is maintained active before next switching. That is to say, before next switching, the button on the side of the scanner is maintained active on the single side.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2 , in the switching method of the present disclosure, a method that the active button bit correspondingly wakes up the scanner includes the following operations.
The scanner in dormancy continuously detects whether button interruption occurs.
Under the condition that it is detected that button interruption occurs, whether the interrupted button is a button currently corresponding to the active button bit is determined.
In a case that the interrupted button is the button currently corresponding to the active button bit, the scanner is woken up.
In a case that the interrupted button is not the button currently corresponding to the active button bit, button interruption is shielded, the dormancy of the scanner is maintained, and whether button interruption occurs is continuously detected.
Specifically, during the actual application, before S1 is performed, the scanner is also to be required to be woken up by using the button corresponding to the active button bit by means of the method for achieving the button to be active on the single side.
The present disclosure further provides an apparatus for switching scanner buttons, including a scanning component and a control component.
The scanning component is configured to scan a barcode and obtain barcode data.
The control component is configured to, in a case that the barcode data obtained by the scanning component matches preset button switching barcode data, switch an active button bit for waking up a scanner from a button at the current side to a button at the other side.
Specifically, the scanning component includes a scanning camera and a data transmission assembly. The control component includes a master control unit and a data receiving assembly. In the field of ring-type scanners, the master control unit generally uses a Bluetooth master control chip with low power consumption. The control component is configured to set flag bits that respectively correspond to the buttons on both sides, and configure the flag bit of the button corresponding to the active button bit to be active, so as to achieve the button to be active on the single side. After performing the switching of the active button bit, the control component detects, by means of the scanning component, whether a barcode matching a button switching barcode is continuously scanned, and if so, switches the active button bit again. After the scanner is restarted, the control component controls the active button bit to reset. That is to say, the flag bit of the button of the side corresponding to the active button bit by default is configured to be active. The restarting includes normal restarting and restarting by means of powering on again after sudden power failure.
In addition, when the scanner is woken up, the control component maintains button interruption active during the dormancy of the scanner, and continuously detects whether button interruption occurs, that is, detects whether a user triggers the button. When button interruption occurs, the control component determines whether the interrupted button is a button corresponding to the active button bit, if so, wakes up the scanner, otherwise, shields button interruption, and maintains the dormancy of the scanner and the continuous detection of button interruption.
The present disclosure further provides a storage medium. The storage medium stores a computer program. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the above scanner button switching method is implemented.
The present disclosure further provides a scanner. Buttons are disposed on both left and right sides of the scanner. The scanner further includes a memory and a processor.
The memory is configured to store a computer program.
The processor is configured to execute the computer program in the memory, so as to implement the above scanner button switching method.
The memory and the processor are directly or indirectly electrically connected to each other, so as to implement the transmission or interaction of data. For example, these elements may be electrically connected to each other by means of one or more communication buses or signal lines.
The memory may be, but is not limited to, a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Read Only Memory (ROM), a Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM), an Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), an Electrical Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), or the like.
The processor may be an integrated circuit chip and has a signal processing capacity. The processor may be a general processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Network Processor (NP) or a microprocessor, or may be a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, and discrete hardware components.
